I honestly do NOT believe for one minute that I was born organized. No way! I believe however, that my mom provoked that organizational bone in my body to be more active. She is after all a very organized person. Everything is in its place and she knows where that is. She plans things out ahead of time, when my dad will allow and she has her act together. Now, as a child I was not organized. In fact, I {Read More}
I’ve Got It Together
February 3, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Do you hope, wish, long to be the person who has “got it all together”. You know those types they seem to be able to juggle the many roles that they have in life with such ease. They seem to always have a smile on their face and a jump in their step. Their crying baby, wrinkled clothes, and unruly preschooler don’t exist, because their children are perfectly behaved and they area always dressed to a T. Is this really {Read More}
Does Disappointment Equal Discipline?
January 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Recently, my 5 year old son cut my 22 month old daughter’s beautiful curly hair to the point where we had to get her a short haircut and the curls are now all gone. I was obviously disappointed. I showed this disappointment clearly and for days he has had to endure the comments from both myself and others about this disappointment. I can remember as a child doing things that disappointed my parents, and they like I did recently showed {Read More}
Who Is Her Role Model?
January 15, 2009 By 1 Comment
Today’s girls truly have a different view of what is ordinary. They are bombarded with tv, movies, and the Internet giving them a much different view point than most of us had at their age. Young girls think that “normal” is being like Hannah Montana, when she isn’t even real anyway. I’m not slamming Hannah Montana, but let’s face it she is really Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana is a character on a television show, but so many of our young {Read More}
Praying Together
January 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment
This weekend I spoke at a couple of Mother / Daughter Teas. At each of the events I had the moms and their daughters at the end of our time together join hands and pray together. I asked the moms to pray for their daughters, then, I asked the daughters to pray for their moms. When this idea first came out of my mouth, as I was telling them what we were about to do I have a few strange {Read More}
Being a Woman of Influence
January 8, 2009 By 1 Comment
What would happen if you decided to intentionally be a woman of influence? I am currently reading Carol Kent’s Becoming a Woman of Influence which has gotten me to thinking a great deal about my influence on those around me, not only my daughter but other young women as well. We have all been influenced by others in our lives, I’m sure there is someone in your life that you can recall who has particularly influenced you, whether in a {Read More}
Did Your Momma Teach You Good Manners?
January 6, 2009 By 2 Comments
“Yes, ma’am”, “No ma’am”, “Thank you”, “No thank you” are these words common practice in your day-to-day life? I have had conversations lately with ladies where they will ask me to stop saying, “yes ma’am” to them, because we are close in age, then I have also had conversations with older people who were surprised by my saying those things. The simple fact is, unfortunately good manners are not common practice in today’s society. This is sad, good manners are {Read More}
Teaching Your Daughter Responsibility
December 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment
What is your strategy for teaching your daughter responsibility? Chores, a part time job, the way that you discipline her, encouraging her to be involved in extracurricular activities. Any of these things can be a great tool for teaching responsibility. For some girls, it seems to come easy, while for others they struggle with growing up and beginning to be self reliant and responsible for their own actions. So, how can you help your daughter’s road to being responsible for {Read More}
Road Trip Remedies

Are you traveling for the holidays? Do you dread being in the car with your kids? You just need to be prepared. Instead of singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,” choose more wholesome games and travel songs to sing. Many travel games start in our imagination. We make them up as we go along and begin a new family tradition. No one has any hard and fast rules about these games; that’s why they are so cool. The {Read More}
